Wii MPlayer and Samba

By | 18 Jan 2009

The MPlayer Christmas Edition for Wii supports SMB browsing. You can configure the login data of the desired SMB share through the smb.conf on the SD card as follows:

ip=192.168.1.100
share=Public
user=wii
pass=somethingelse
port=445Code language: PHP (php)

For it to work, you MUST use a dedicated user in Samba. Guest shares won’t work. Also make sure you have security=user set in your Linux smb.conf. For more information see this thread at tehskeen.com.
